About forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal; powder metallurgy

isic code 2591 covers a critical segment of the metal manufacturing industry, encompassing the forging, pressing, stamping, and roll-forming of metal, as well as powder metallurgy. This industry plays a vital role in transforming raw metal materials into a wide range of intermediate and finished products, serving as a crucial supplier to numerous other manufacturing sectors within the broader economy.

Production process

The key production techniques utilized in this industry include forging, where metal is shaped by compressive force; pressing and stamping, which involve the use of dies to impart specific forms onto metal; and roll-forming, a process that continuously bends sheet metal into a desired cross-sectional profile. Additionally, powder metallurgy involves the compaction and sintering of metal powders to create near-net-shape components.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for this industry include various types of metal raw materials, such as 2410 Iron and steel, 2420 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, and specialized metal alloys. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery and equipment, including forging presses, stamping dies, and powder metallurgy compaction and sintering furnaces.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry encompass a diverse range of metal components and products, including automotive parts, construction hardware, industrial machinery components, and various other metal goods. These outputs are then consumed by a wide array of other manufacturing industries, such as 2910 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 2511 Manufacture of structural metal products, and 2822 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment.
